Contributions Based or Income Related Confused

I would expect the letter to have been in relation to you being in the WRAG where there is a 365 day limit to the time that you can receive ESA(CB), this limit does not apply if you are in the SG.

I would contact the DWP office dealing with your claim to confirm that you are still entitled to payments. I would also check whether you are eligible for Income Related ESA as this would normally be higher than what you would receive for ESA(CB). If you are then it will be paid as a top-up to your ESA(CB).

That would certainly have been the case while you were in the WRAG but it may not now you are in the SG as you are now eligible for the Enhanced Disability Premium which is another £16.80 per week.
